You need to handle molten lead under a vented hood, so there is no chance of breathing the vapors. These vapors are extremely dangerous. But you probably knew this, and you probably have the necessary equipment already.

You'll probably have to heat the mold to prevent the lead from freezing on the way in. The lead probably won't freeze on its own while pouring, since it holds a lot of heat.
